Should there be accountability for inequality?

Does society have a duty to account for unequal outcomes in income, health, relationship success and happiness?

  • There are charities and other organisations that attempt to address those issues. Sadly, they've been totally undermined by over a decade of hard-right capitalist idealism from the Tory government. It's a free-for-all and people have been brainwashed into thinking it's all about "personal responsibility" (amongst many other inane right-wing soundbites used to brush over complex socioeconomic issues).

    The UK is ruled by wealthy, overprivileged elites and they want to keep it that way. While that structure is in place there won't be any accounting for inequality, I'm afraid.

    We live in a nation where our government calls the homelessness crisis (exacerbated by 13 years of austerity, a housing crisis, and cost of living crisis) a "lifestyle choice".

    This is what's been voted for since 2010. As a nation, we continue to shoot ourselves in the foot.
